I thought -L was for the other forwarding.. for example:

	mail.blackavar.com listens on port 25
	I want the box I'm SSHing from to listen on port 25
	so I do:
		ssh ben at blackavar.com -L 25:blackavar.com:25

which is slightly different than:

	pop.paul.com listens on port 110
	I want the box I'm sshing -to- to listen on 110 and
		connect me with pop.paul.com
	so I do:
		ssh paul at systemb.paul.com -R 110:pop.paul.com:110

The difference is -L listens on the box you're running ssh on and -R 
listens on the box you're sshing to.. at least, that's my understanding..
